Abstract— The design of robotic systems involves contributions from several areas of science and engineering. Electrical, mechanical and software components must be integrated to...
— In this paper we create a framework to model and characterize the impact of time-varying fading communication links on the performance of a mobile sensor network. We propose co...
Abstract— Highly heterogeneous robotic systems are becoming increasingly common, as are robotic systems integrated with smart environments. In such distributed systems, there are...
— In this paper, we introduce an approach to active camera control for visual SLAM. Features, detected by a biologically motivated attention system, are tracked over several fram...
Abstract—This paper presents a new task assignment algorithm that integrates area search and target tracking. A new tracking metric is derived that encodes the ability of each ro...
